Tonight marks night 3 of listening - Stage 1, Cycle 3.
I've been out-of-town at a wedding since last Wednesday. We had to fly. I've had a fear of flying, ranging from mild anxiety to near panic-attack, since I was in high school and had a scary experience. I've been working on that fear for a long time - consciously dealing with it a multitude of ways for years. I don't fly often, so I haven't had many opportunities to work on it. It's been slow-going.
Both flying out and coming back, I had mild anxiety at times, but for the most part, I felt pretty good. I even laughed during a turbulent decent that had my wife digging her nails into the armrest - but even she did well.
Made some new friends, re-engaged some older relationships with people we haven't had much time to spend with over the years. Behaved myself very well at different social gatherings. It was a good time.
Not remembering dreams at the rate I was during OF.
Instances of deja vu, more frequent than usual.
Been more calm, and slow to anger. More apologetic, when necessary, with my wife, and finding it easier to initiate the peace process after a tiff or argument.
